Under Item IX., everything after the first sentence was replaced with "The intent of the rescinded proposal was to establish a procedure for approval of Liberal Arts core courses originating outside departments usually associated with a particular label (G1, G2 or G3). An E. Blazer/R. Bookmiller motion to approve the proposal submitted by F. Bremer which accomplishes essentially the same goal, passed."

Under Item XIV., the minutes should simply read "This item was postponed indefinitely upon passage of a J. Miller/B. Stengel motion."

Academic Policies Committee chair R. Kerper presented the Committee=s report on the International Studies program. The Committee proposed that the International Studies Curriculum Committee be convened and a chair elected. APC also recommended that all bodies involved with interdisciplinary studies should attend a meeting discussing how such programs should be administered in keeping with the Governance Manual. A B. Stengel/B. Dorman amendment to invite to the joint meeting of curricular bodies involved in interdisciplinary studies representatives from the Gerontology and Environmental Sciences programs (and any other such programs on campus) passed. The amended proposal was postponed until the May 6 Senate meeting on a S. Luek/C. Heintzelman motion.
